Instructions
Preheat your pressure cooker and add 1 cup of water to the bottom to create steam.
Spray or butter a 7x11 pan that fits into your cooker.
Mix cake mix, melted butter, 2 eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Press into the bottom of your greased pan to form the crust.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining 2 eggs and cocoa powder. Stir until even.
Gradually mix in powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fluffy. Pour over the crust and spread evenly.
Place pan on rack in cooker. Seal lid and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
Use quick release. Carefully remove pan and let cake cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Let cake cool entirely to help the gooey center set. Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
